Load view from Controller issue

Hi Dave,

In fact I had to put as below in the controller while redirecting back to contact us form.

PHP Code:

/*1*/ $this->load->view('templates/header');
/*2*/ $this->load->view('pages/contact-us', $data);
/*3*/ $this->load->view('templates/footer'); 


If I only add line#2 then contact us form does not include header and footer views in the final rendering of the view. So I had to do it that way. I find it annoying. Is there any better way so I will not have to include header and footer templates while loading view from the controller?

With above code I manage to load contact-us view but then in the address bar it does not show contact-us (http://localhost:8080/42patidarsamaj-staging/contact-us) rather it shows controller name (http://localhost:8080/42patidarsamaj-staging/sendemail). 

Please advise.

Thanks.
